Downtown Disney Infinity Zoo

A couple of months back (March 1st, to be precise), my wife and I had the opportunity to attend a special Disney event.

As a fan of the Disney Infinity games, I was invited to attend an event showcasing what was coming next from Disney Infinity. In addition, those in attendance would be treated to a special screening of Disney’s latest animated offering: Zootopia (#55)!

See me after the jump for some details and thoughts!

This Week: Vol.12

Well, that was a while!

It’s good to be back here at Then to NowI hope you’ll bear with me as I play catch up for a bit. To that end, my regular columns that aren’t reviews of the cannon films are suspended for the time being. (Although one or two might slip through where appropriate.) What can you expect this week?

Well, how about an entire week of films?

Excited?

Here’s the schedule:

  • Monday: (today!) Peter Pan
  • Tuesday: Lady and the Tramp
  • Wednesday: Sleeping Beauty
  • Thursday: One Hundred and One Dalmatians
  • Friday: The Sword in the Stone

This schedule will bring us a little closer to being on track to finish by the end of the year. I hope you’ll stick around, because we haven’t even been deep into the Disney Cannon!
